Our roads in Ontario are crap in comparison. Seriously, I've barely ridden my bike since I got back.

So if I find a used R1 shock, it will almost bolt right in? No mods needed to the frame or mudguard? This is precisely what I'm looking for.

I'm 210 without gear. I need to lose weight.

Your worst roads are better than our best roads here in Ontario. It's not fair. My Green Goblin aches for roads like that.

I likely wouldn't buy it all at once, and I might not even do all of it. I'm not sure what's the best bang for the buck even. The first 2 on the list will definitely be done this winter. The other 8...

Right now, my biggest complaint about the 250 is that it revs so freakin high when I'm cruising on the highway. I'm normally at 9-10k in 6th gear. Like I said, that'll change soon when I won't be...

How to make the 250R better

Hey guys,

So after some discussion with the GF, it seems that other things in my life are a higher priority (i.e. saving for a house and getting married). This means that a new bike is not really...

Their house, their rules. Move out. Grow up a bit. Return when you're more mature to pick up your bike. You catch more flies with honey. Rather than try to take your bike back by legal means, get...

If you really only do track/canyon, go with the BT-003 instead. The BT-016 is great for commuting, with the track/canyon runs as well. It's a good all-purpose tire. The BT-45 is the best for...

Kamikaze, dude, I'm just about to pull the trigger on a set of BT-016s. Get in touch with me, I can arrange to order a second set and pick them up for you at the same time.

Pretty sure my little 250 kept up fine with the 600s and 1000s in the Gap this past week.
